    What an interesting thought to even look into this. They should have checked all other public venues of data like this before letting this loose, but nice work!

      I’ve never understood why payments should turn into a basis for a social media platform as Venmo tries to be, but this use of that weird combination is something I’m ok with.

    Interesting, I guess. But you can link Trump to waaaaay worse people, and through more direct connections…this changes nothing for anyone.
